Try their Menudo it's the best. With their homemade tortillas. The sopes are also really good. ? The restaurant is small but the food is so good.

First I'll say this place is basically a taco truck! I love taco truck food but these ppl are charging double for tacos. I payed 4 dollars per taco but the menu said 2.50 per taco and so my total was 16 dollars and change for 3 tacos and a coke. And they only give on tortilla per taco so they fall apart. The place feels dirty and the staff is not friendly. I'll never go back and I promise. My favorite taco truck this would have cost me 10 dollars. Everything else is over priced as well. They gave me free soupe but basically paid for it.

I should have walked right back out after seeing a dirty kitchen with 2 female workers visibly eating in said dirty kitchen. Was not greeted, just handed a dirty menu. I just wanted a beef taco salad. When I asked if beef was ground or shredded, she simply said "No Se."Wow. Save yourself the trip and go to ANY other place than this disgusting rat hole. South side has amazing CLEAN taco trucks that serve amazing authentic Mexican cuisine.
